yes, and it shows confidence and it shows that, you know, that you're serious. OK. So,

是的，它顯示了信心，它顯示， 你知道，你是認真的。好吧。所以，

imagine that I'm at a job interview, and the interviewer asks me a question like "Can you

想象一下，我'在一個工作面試，和麵試官問我一個問題，如"你能

tell me about yourself?" OK. It's a very general question. What does it mean? You really do

告訴我關於你自己嗎？"OK。這是一個很籠統的問題。這是什麼意思？你真的

have to think hard. Because what they want you to do is briefly summarize who you are

不得不認真思考。因為他們要你做的是簡單地概括你的身份。

and what you're experience is. And that's basically what most interviewers are asking.

以及你'的經驗是什麼。而這基本上是大多數面試官的要求。

Uh huh. There are some other tricky questions they might have too, like "What's your proudest

嗯哼。還有一些其他棘手的問題，他們可能也會有，比如"你最驕傲的是什麼'？

achievement?" You know, I always say to my clients you have to really think hard, because

成就?"你知道，我總是對我的客戶說，你必須真正的努力思考，因為。

what the interviewer is asking you really is how you solved a problem. They want to

面試官問你的其實是你如何解決一個問題。他們想要的是

see your problem solving skills and how you achieved that, not just the results. So, how

看到你解決問題的能力，以及你是如何實現的，而不僅僅是結果。那麼，如何

you solved a a problem. But they'll be interested in the results as well, perhaps. Oh yes. So

你解決了一個問題。但他們'也會對結果感興趣，也許。哦，是的。所以

what you're doing is, you start off with what was the situation, then what you did to deal

你在做什麼，你開始了什麼是情況， 然後你做了什麼來處理

with that problem and then what were the results at the end. And, when you're giving results,

與這個問題，然後最後的結果是什麼。而且，當你'給的結果。

be specific. Give numbers. Quantify your achievement. Don't just say 'sales increased, you know

是具體的。給出數字。量化你的成就。不要只說'銷售額增加了，你知道嗎？

we had a good sales outcome.' They want to know by how many percent, by how much. What

我們有一個很好的銷售結果.＆#39;他們想知道以多少百分比，多少錢。他們想知道百分之多少，多少。

did you do? So, always give numbers. Be specific. Oh, so that's another good tip for us. So,

你做了什麼？所以，總是給數字。要具體。哦，所以這'是另一個好的提示我們。所以，所以。

another tricky one... in fact, I can remember being asked this at a job interview... 'What's

另一個棘手的......事實上，我還記得在一次面試中被問到這個問題......'什麼'的。

your greatest strength?' That was all right. But then they said, "What's your greatest

你最大的優勢？&#39；這都是正確的。但他們說，"你最大的'是什麼？

weakness?" Yes. Always difficult, isnt' it, because you don't want to say too much about

弱點嗎"是的。總是困難的，是不是&#39；它，因為你不&#39；想說太多關於

your weaknesses. But the key here really, is turning that weakness into a strength.

你的弱點。但這裡的關鍵其實是將弱點轉化為優勢。

One of the things about weakness is it's demonstrating your self awareness. So, pinpoint an area.

弱點的其中一點就是它在展示你的自我意識。所以，要精確地指出一個方面。

So for example, if you are someone who puts a lot of attention to detail, so you could

所以舉例來說，如果你是一個非常注重細節的人，那麼你可以

be detail orientated. But, it could also be that you're too concerned about details. So

是注重細節的。但是，也可能是你'太在意細節了。所以

that particular job requires you to complete it in a certain amount of time and you are

那項工作要求你在一定的時間內完成，而你又是

focused on too much detail. That is a weakness. So then, what you want to do, is to show how

注重太多細節。這是一個弱點。那麼，你要做的，就是要展示出如何。

you've overcome that weakness. You're aware of it, so this is what you try and do. Maybe

你'已經克服了這個弱點。你'意識到了這一點，所以這是你努力去做的。也許

you set yourself some time lines. So that's what they're trying to look at also and how

你給自己設定一些時間線。所以，這也是他們'想看的東西，以及如何。

you've overcome that weakness. That's interesting. So it's not just a question of trying to find

你已經克服了這個弱點。這很有趣。所以，它不僅僅是一個問題，試圖找到。

a weakness that isn't really a weakness... you need to be honest. Yes. But you also need

一個弱點，是不是真的弱點... 你需要誠實。是的，但你也需要...但你也需要

to tell them how you've overcome it and got round it. Have you got any weaknesses, Fluency?

告訴他們你是如何克服它，並得到了它。你有什麼弱點嗎，流利？

I sure do. Shanthi, it's really interesting what you're saying about different types of

我當然願意。Shanthi，它真的很有趣，你說的關於不同類型的。

questions interviewers might ask that all connect to the idea of how did you solve a problem.

面試官可能會問的問題，都與你如何解決問題的想法有關。

Because when you're also... when you're talking about a weakness that they might want to know

因為當你也... 當你說到一個他們可能想知道的弱點的時候

about, you said 'something you're trying to overcome.' So, it seems like problem solving

關於，你說'東西你'試圖克服.';所以，它似乎像問題解決

skills - both at the job and also with yourself, your personality - kind of connect in a way.

技能--無論是在工作中，還是與你自己，你的個性--在某種程度上是相通的。

Yeah, I mean it is very much that, because what you're looking at is also self awareness,

是的，我的意思是它是非常多的，因為你'看的也是自我意識。

self knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses. Because we're all going to have that. One

自我瞭解你的優勢和弱點。因為我們'都會有的。一個

of the key things I always say when you're applying for a job - look at the key skills

的關鍵事情，我總是說，當你'申請工作-看在關鍵的技能

they're looking at in your job specification. And you've got to really think hard about

他們'看在你的工作規範。而你必須要認真思考的是

what are the skills that you have where you are strong at and perhaps where you're going

你有什麼技能，你在哪裡強，也許你'去哪裡。

to be a bit weaker. But then you've got to find a way to turn that round into a strength.

要弱一些。但你就得想辦法把這一輪變成優勢。

That's another good tip isn't it? Very good, yeah. To make sure you study those job specifications

這又是一個很好的提示是不是'？非常好，是的。要確保你研究那些工作規範

so you can match what you're saying to what they're looking for. Yeah. People will see

這樣你就可以把你說的話和他們要找的東西匹配起來。是的，人們會看到。人們會看到

through waffle. And they will see see through - if you're not being honest. Because what

通過華夫餅。他們會看到看穿--如果你不誠實。因為什麼

happens when we're not being honest, we start waffling, we start talking too much, we start

發生時，我們不誠實， 我們開始含糊其辭，我們開始說話太多，我們開始。

rambling, and we're not focused. And an interviewer can see right through that. One of the other

漫不經心，我們'不專注。而面試官可以看穿這一點。一個其他

things I always say to my clients, particularly where they're having an interview in English

我總是對我的客戶說，特別是當他們有一個英語面試的地方

which is not their native language - is to not be afraid of pausing for a while. You

這不是他們的母語--就是不要害怕停頓一下。你

know, we all get very nervous, we get get worried. And all of us do that. And then the

我們都很緊張，我們得到得到擔心。我們都會這樣做。然後...

tendency is to rush into the answer... with the answer. And what I always says is "...just

傾向於急於回答...與答案。而我常說的是"...只是

give yourself a few seconds and you know pause and then answer the question." It doesn't

給自己幾秒鐘的時間，你知道暫停，然後回答問題."它不'。

show that, you know, you don't have the answer but it just shows that you're in control,

顯示，你知道，你不'有答案，但它只是表明，你'在控制。

um, of what you're about to say. That's another good tip, isn't it? Yeah. I mean I... Don't

嗯，你'關於說什麼。這是另一個好的提示，是不是？ - 是的。是的，我的意思是我...我的意思是，我...

rush in. Yeah - you rushed in, Fluency. Ha ha ha ha. I was so excited that Shanthi started

衝進去.是啊--你衝進去了，流利說。哈哈哈哈。我太興奮了，Shanthi開始

talking about when you're not a native speaker since before that we hadn't really talked

談到當你不是一個母語的人，因為在此之前，我們還沒有真正的談話

about that. I mean that advice that we're giving here - Shanthi's giving is great for

關於這一點。我的意思是，我們在這裡給的建議 - Shanthi'的給予是偉大的。

everybody - but it's... when I work with students who are learning English, and you just prepare

每個人 - 但它's ... 當我與學生誰是學習英語的工作，你只是準備

for job interivews, it's even more important to be more prepared for the types of questions

對於求職者來說，更重要的是要對問題的類型做更多的準備。

that will be asked, and also, as Shanthi said, to uh... it's OK to pause and I want to add,

那會被問到，而且，正如Shanthi說的，要呃......可以暫停，我想補充一下。

and I think you'll agree Shanthi, it's OK to ask to clarify the question and to be prepared

我想你'會同意Shanthi，它'的確定問澄清的問題，並做好準備

with ways to ask "...do you mean that this" ... or because that's also a way to show that

與方式問"......你的意思是，這"......還是因為這&39;也是一種方式，以顯示出。

you're solving a problem, trying to do something the right way as opposed to just pretending

你正在解決一個問題，試圖做一些正確的方式，而不是隻是假裝。

you understood. Yeah. That's really important, isn't it, to make sure that you've understood the

你明白的。是啊，這真的很重要，不是嗎？這真的很重要，不是嗎？ 確保你已經明白了。

question. You don't want to answer the wrong one. Absolutely, because actually it takes

的問題。你不'想回答錯誤的問題。當然，因為實際上它需要

a lot of confidence say I didn't quite get that - what you're asking me is this... or

很多信心說我沒有完全明白--你問我的是這個......或者是

maybe repeat that question so that it is down to the interviewer to confirm what they've

也許重複這個問題，所以它是下降到面試官確認他們&#39；已經

just asked. Because sometimes they're not that clear. Don't put yourself at a lower

只是問。因為有時候他們'不是那麼清楚。不要把自己放在一個較低的。

level just because you are not a proficient speaker of English and assume that they're

的水準，只是因為你不是一個精通英語的人，並認為他們're。

always right or they're always clear. If you haven't understood don't make it "...I'm so

總是正確的，或者他們'總是清楚的。如果你沒有'不明白不要'不要讓它"......我'是如此。

sorry, I haven't understood." No. Turn it over to them to repeat their questions.

對不起，我還沒有理解."不，把它交給他們重複他們的問題。

You know I often have that problem with you Jay. With me? Yeah, I ask one question and

你知道我對你經常有這個問題，傑伊。對我？是啊，我問一個問題，然後

then you answer another. I never do that! I think that is selective hearing. You know,

然後你再回答另一個。我從不這樣做！我認為這是選擇性聽覺。你知道嗎？

speaking of questions, I think it's time for question Time. Question time everybody!

說到問題，我想是時候提問了。大家的提問時間到了！

OK, we had a question from Nandish. Ah. And she asked about the difference between two words: achieve

好吧，我們有一個問題 從Nandish。啊，她問的是兩個詞的區別：她問到了兩個詞的區別："實現"。

and accomplish. Ah I can see why. Well, they're very similar, aren't they?. Yeah, yeah. And

並完成。啊，我知道為什麼了。嗯，他們'很相似，不是嗎？是的，是的。是的，是的。

I had to think about it and go check my answers. But what it's about is 'achieve' is what we

我只好想了想，去檢查我的答案。但它的內容是'實現&39;是我們

say when we're thinking about the end result of something. So it's very results oriented.

說，當我們'在考慮某事的最終結果。所以它'是非常注重結果的。

'He achieved greatness and was awarded a Nobel Prize.' But accomplish refers to the process

＆#39;他取得了偉大的成就，並獲得了諾貝爾獎.＆#39;但成就指的是過程。

of doing something - of getting something done. So you've got achieve which is about the end

做某事的 - 得到的東西完成。所以，你已經得到了實現 這是關於結束

result and you've got accomplish which is about the process. Right. So another example

結果和你'已經得到了成就這是關於過程。對，所以另一個例子。所以另一個例子

could be you can accomplish a lot without actually achieving your goal. Hmmm. Interesting.

可能是你可以在沒有真正實現目標的情況下完成很多事情。Hmmm.有趣的。

Yeah. Yeah. And of course in a job interview, they're going to ask you about both, aren't

是啊，是啊。當然在面試中，他們會問你這兩個問題，是不是？當然，在面試中，他們會問你這兩個問題，不是嗎?

they? Yeah, what are your accomplishments? What have you achieved, yes. And it's useful

他們？是啊，你有什麼成就？你有什麼成就，是的。而且它是有用的

to know the difference. So you're working a job and you have a sales target for the

以知道其中的區別。所以，你'工作，你有一個銷售目標的。

year. So that is your goal. That is your objective. You have to achieve that sales target. So

年。所以這就是你的目標。這就是你的目標。你必須實現這個銷售目標。所以

in between that you have to do things. So you have to accomplish different tasks and

在這兩者之間，你必須要做的事情。所以，你必須完成不同的任務和

jobs to get to that sales target. But sometimes you can do a lot of things so you can have

工作來達到這個銷售目標。但有時你可以做很多事情，這樣你可以有

accomplished them, but you don't necessarily achieve that target. Excellent, yes, good

完成了它們，但你不一定能實現這個目標。優秀，是的，很好

example. Yeah. I'm ready for a conversation. What do you think? Is it time for 'Conversation Time? '

比如說...是啊，我已經準備好了談話。你覺得呢？是時候為'對話時間嗎？

I'm going to show you a business conversation

我給你看一個商業對話。

today and I'm only going to show you the first half at first, and your task is to listen

今天，我只給你看前半部分，你的任務是傾聽

and to work out 'What's the conversation about?', what are they discussing, and 'What's going

和工作出'什麼'的談話嗎？'，他們在討論什麼，和'什麼'是怎麼回事？

to happen?' So what it's about - the topic - and then what's going to happen next because

要發生的事嗎?'所以它的內容--主題--然後接下來會發生什麼，因為。

you're going to stop it. Is that right? That's right. Are you ready? Ready.

你要去阻止它。是這樣嗎？是的你準備好了嗎？準備好了

是啊，我找到了一份更好的工作，但我們已經計劃好了一切。

Wow! That came out of left field. OK guys. So Shanthi, you were right. And in

哇！那是左手邊出來的。好吧，夥計們。所以Shanthi，你是對的。而在

fact what he did was he quit. Quit is a very informal way of saying resign. In fact we've

事實上他做的是他辭職。辭職是一種很非正式的說法。事實上，我們've

got resign coming up. 'You're resigning?' 'Yeah', he said. 'I've got a better job'.

得到了辭職來了。 '你'辭職嗎';'是的'，他說。 '我'有更好的工作'。

Fluency, you know much more about baseball than I do. What does 'out of left field' mean?

流利，你對棒球的瞭解比我多得多。什麼是'出左外野&39;的意思？

Well there are a few expressions with 'left field' in English because our image of left

好吧，有幾個表達方式是帶有'左場'的英文，因為我們對左的印象是

field in the baseball field, it's like, really far away, over there. It's the furthest point

在棒球場上，它像，真的很遠，在那邊。它是最遠的點。

from where most of the action usually is. So it's sort of that idea of out of nowhere.

從那裡大多數的行動通常是。所以，它的那種想法的無處不在。

OK, so it's sort of a surprise. Mmm. You don't expect it because that's not where the action

驚喜，不是嗎'？所以一驚一乍的。我很好奇 I'm curious.這個成語在英國英語中使用嗎？甚至

though you don't have baseball. I know some baseball idioms are and some aren't. No. No.
